ANSWER
Here’s a thorough method for making the deliverable’s chart and summary:
Constructivism against Behaviorism Diagram
Behaviorism of ElementsConstructivism: An Overviewtheory of learning that emphasizes observable behaviors and how reinforcement and stimuli affect them.learning theory that places a strong emphasis on how students actively build knowledge from their experiences.
The learner’s rolepassively absorbs information and reacts to outside stimuli.active participant who builds knowledge by investigation and introspection.
The instructor’s role is to provide feedback, reinforcement, and stimuli to help influence behavior.a mentor or facilitator who encourages and tests students as they develop their own understanding.
Learning and Process Focusfocuses on using reinforcement—both positive and negative—to change behavior. Learning happens as a result of stimulation.emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and in-depth comprehension. Learning is a collaborative and exploratory process.
Evaluation Approach Assessment is tracking changes in behavior, frequently with the use of performance measures or standardized examinations.Projects, reflections, and free-flowing conversations are all part of the continuous and formative assessment process.
Environment for Learningregulated and organized to guarantee dependable results.dynamic and interactive to promote self-directed learning, teamwork, and exploration.
Materialsstructured materials (like preprogrammed teaching) and reinforcers (like incentives and penalties).Reflective journals, collaborative platforms, real-world tools, and authentic activities.
Constructivism is more appropriate for adult learners, according to an analysis of the two learning theories. Adults are a good fit for constructivist concepts because they offer life experiences, past knowledge, and a need for self-directed learning. In order for adult learners to integrate new information with their preexisting frameworks, constructivism promotes critical thinking, active engagement, and teamwork.
Behaviorism, on the other hand, restricts deeper knowledge and self-agency, two qualities that are essential in adult education, even though it is good at teaching regular or core skills. For instance, adult learners frequently flourish in settings that enable them to work with peers, solve real-world problems, and reflect on their learning—all of which are characteristics of constructivism.
Constructivism’s relevance to adult education is further increased by its support for contemporary teaching strategies and tools including project-based learning, simulations, and conversations. Constructivist approaches enable adult learners to attain higher learning outcomes and successfully apply their knowledge in practical situations by encouraging autonomy and participation.
Please let me know if you require any additional clarification or examples that are suited to certain adult education contexts.

Scenario
In your pre-observation conversation with Dr. Lydia, she asks for your guidance on distinguishing between major learning theories. You decide to create a brief chart as a quick reference showing the differences between Behaviorism and Constructivism as they pertain to adult learners like those in Dr. Lydia’s class.
Instructions
Create a chart comparing Behaviorism and Constructivism. Include the following elements:
· Definition of the theory
· Role of the learner and instructor
· Focus of learning and the process
· Assessment approach
· Learning environment
· Resources
After completing the chart, summarize which learning theory is the best fit for adult learners and why.
